Plywoods

Spruce

This product is the most widely used plywood for general construction. The 1/2" is generally used for roof decking and the 5/8" or 3/4" is usually used for floors. It is not a sanded product and it is priced much lower than a Good One Side plywood.

Fir

We stock a Select grade of fir in 5/8" and 3/4". This is a sanded product and is generally used in floors. Fir is a very strong wood species

Radiata Pine

This is a relatively new product. It usually comes from Chile. It has a face that is almost knot free and is attractively priced. There are few core voids as well. We have substituted our Good One Side Fir for this product now.

Oriented Strand Board

This product is called many things ! Aspenite, Waferboard, Chipboard, Particleboard. Whatever you wish to call it, it is relatively cheap and is manufactured from "junk" wood from the forest. The glues and production methods used nowdays are much better. We stock 4'x8'x1/4", 7/16" and 5/8" T&G.
